We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. –Romans 6:4 ESV
Life is full of storms. We face difficulties of all types in this world, often experiencing clouds of doubt as to the outcome. But, as we look at things from the natural point of view, we know that behind every darkened sky, the sun still shines. And this holds true in our own lives. What wonderful peace and assurance we have as Christians, knowing that during every storm of life, the Son of our living God is shining!Just as the sun rises every morning, bringing warmth and hope to the world; the Son of God rose from the dead, bringing us hope and a future of eternal life with Him in Heaven.Jesus is with you at this very moment, no matter the weather of your day. No matter what storms you face or are going through, the Son shines brightly within you. Turn to Him in the darkness, and allow His light to guide you. Turn to Him when the outlook is bright, and His grace will glow within you. Praise His name no matter what the weather looks like. As those around you see this attitude, they will be drawn to “the peace of God which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7 NKJV), a peace that they never knew before.Rejoice! The Son shines in you today, and the forecast is brighter than ever.
Father, in the presence of Jesus, guide me through the storms of my day so that others might see Your glory in my steps.
Jesus, let me lead others by being Your light in the darkness. Help me to spread the hope of Your Word in my walk with You.
